  "account": "Fifteen years following the conclusion of Stargate Universe, the original creator of WandaVision, Jac Schaeffer, has announced plans to develop a new Stargate series for Amazon MGM. Variety reported that Schaeffer's project aims to explore the vastness of space through a portal, akin to the iconic device from the franchise. The news comes after a previous attempt by Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis writer Martin Gero to bring the series to a mainstream audience failed after four years of development. Emmerich, the filmmaker behind the original Stargate film, also attempted a reboot in 2016 but to no avail. Despite this history, Schaeffer's involvement in WandaVision, a Marvel series that resonated with Disney+ viewers and led to the creation of the spin-off Agatha All Along and upcoming VisionQuest, makes her a promising choice for the Stargate project. Stargate has traditionally been a cult favorite, primarily featured on Saturday afternoon television, but it has garnered a dedicated fanbase. This group rallied for the series' revival, amassing 100,000 signatures on a Change.org petition and staging rallies in New York City and Culver City, California. They emphasized that their support, akin to free advertising, could prove invaluable to Amazon MGM.",
